Joe McGee loves to write about monsters and magic and other strange, curious, and quirky things. He grew up with his nose in a book and his imagination exploring other worlds. He knew when he was ten years old that one day he would grow up to be an author! He has an MFA in writing for children and young adults from the Vermont College of Fine Arts and an MFA in writing from Rowan University. Joe teaches at Sierra Nevada University's low-residency MFA program and English at Eastern West Virginia Community and Technical College. He is a former Army officer and lives in the mountains of West Virginia with his wife (also a children's author), Jessica Rinker.

Ethan Long is the acclaimed author and illustrator of many books for children, among them the Theodor Seuss Geisel Award winner Up, Tall, and High. He is also the creator of the animated, Emmy Award-nominated series Tasty Time with ZeFronk, which aired on Disney Junior.

This story will engage young readers who are looking for lengthier early reader books--children will feel triumphant at being able to read through the story. The characters are endearing, and the text is large. Long's art style is well used here, with bright colors and exaggerated features that make the story soar. --School Library Journal "July, 2024"
